JACKSONVILLE’S PORTS NETWORK

Somewhat unique as a maritime association, JMTX has been established to provide a stable coordinating structure for port-wide planning, coordination and infrastructure recommendations. JMTX serves as an information clearinghouse for port critical information, provides a forum for stakeholder issues and serves as a stakeholder advocate to local, regional and national agencies. JMTX has been accepted by the U. S. Coast Guard as the coordinating

• rganization for the port’s official Port Security Committee, and the

Harbor Safety Committee. Since 9/11, JMTX has played a major role in coordinating security issues including assessments, intelligence sharing and compliance with security requirements.

At 7:38 a.m. May 9, 1980, during a blinding spring squall, the freighter SUMMIT VENTURE rammed into the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and knocked out a 1,200-foot section of the bridge. Thirty five people -

• most of them in a Greyhound Bus -- plunged 150

feet to their deaths.
